Williamson's sapsuckers

[Jeff Saffle <Jeffrey dot Saffle at hsc dot utah dot edu>]

My wife and I travelled up Logan Canyon on Tuesday, 9/5, and hiked the
trail to the lake (Alpine Lake?  White Lake?) at the end of the Tony Grove
road.  About half a mile up, we found two male Williamson's sapsuckers
(Life bird!!), and saw several more birds, including one juvenile, over the
next mile or so.  I can't say exactly how many individual birds we saw, but
there must have been at least four:  two males, a juvenile, and an adule
female.  We also saw a brilliantly colored hairy woodpecker, and a trio of
blue grouse that walked along the trail quite oblivious of us.  A great day!
